If the cattle have to stay then the only way to protect the Tregeseal is to enclose it in some way - like Boscawen-un, which is enclosed by blackthorn and gorse.

Hi June,

Tregeseal and its near neighbour Nine Maidens are Very Special, and for me it's precisely because they are not enclosed. The cattle need to go, the joys of the Penwith Moors are mainly due to their lack of enclosure.

If enclosure is really the only option (and I don't believe it is) then the area fenced against the cattle would need to be very large, or the atmosphere of the circle will be severely compromised. Putting a fence around the circle will kill it. Natural England and the Heathland Project need to do some serious rethinking and start listening to the views of local people.
